I see your point. Nevertheless I've seen this tactic in "RedStormRising" (sub simulator by Microprose) and sometimes it was successful.
The question is: Does it harm? So, if the chased sub prepares to accelerate anyway does it give its hunter any additional infos (apart of the frequency of the active sonar?) Perhaps it gets a datum and can fire a better snapshot...
